That's because in the 7th century bce, an 8 year King Josiah removed half of God, the female half who was worshipped by every culture in different name for millenia before Christians came along. It was in purpose to hide the true nature of humans and reality.
Please cite the evidence that USAID is a "slush fund". Not your wife's cousin on Facebook, not some blog. Legit sources. And, in anticipation of the inevitable response to 'do your own research', I have. Enough to know that ending the food aid will directly impact American farmers.
I'm a strong supporter of diversity and climate investment, so good on them for funding it. These and the other policy positions are at odds with conservatives, which I get. But that is a separate argument from claiming that it's a 'slush fund'.
And even if you believed this to be possible (it isn’t- and I say that as an Episcopal priest), wouldn’t you work to make sure there was a system of aid in place before pulling the plug and condemning people to starve to death or die of malaria? Disgusting.
Filling the hole left by the US, to enrich or influence is Russia, China & Iran, on the African continent building military bases, taking ownership of natural resources, land, news/radio stations for propaganda, in exchange for their help. Wagner supplies mercenaries to both sides of conflicts.
USAID was the just effective tool US Christians (and others) ever had to provide support around the world. Sure, there were diplomatic and other motives mixed in, but that level of organization and cooperation is maybe and not something even the largest religious groups could hope to achieve
Since the majority of Christians would be looked at like they're assholes by Jesus, I'm not sure we can expect them as a whole to do anything not for themselves.
How would the big box churches afford all the luxuries their pastors enjoy if they were taking care of the sick and homeless instead? I've yet to see a big box church's pastor dressed in sackcloth so he could feed anyone but himself.
Elon Musk telling everyone to hold on, it's going to get rough for them, as he raids our tax coffers....is a new kind of fuck you. Stop pretending he's not robbing us blind and the suffering is for his benefit.

Millions to bbc and msm favourable to them
BLM
80 millions to WEF
Funding bio weapon labs
The list is endless
But nice try at shifting blame away from failed religions...
We have to make very difficult and frankly painful choices now because the human suffering that would result from economic collapse is staggering.
The interest alone on our debt right now exceeds Defense spending and will soon exceed Medicare spending.
If we took 100% of Musks wealth it would only cover 4 months INTEREST on our debt, much less pay it down.
The only realistic solution will be a combination of:
- spending controls (ie tough, painful decisions)
- tax reform (that doesn’t crush economic growth or drive capital out of the country)
- aggressive economic growth
and it’s got to happen now.
